The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has guaranteed Nigerians that the country will be self-sufficient in Premium Motor Spirit (Petroleum) production within the next four weeks.
He praised President Bola Tinubu for having the fortitude to abolish the petroleum subsidy, saying that the immediate hardships would soon be past.
Akpabio delivered his speech during the one-day South-South APC convention in Calabar, Cross River State’s capital.
He stated that he had performed surveillance across many refineries before reaching his determination.
Akpabio said:
“I went round the Dangote refinery and found out that by this July 2024, Nigeria is about to become self-sufficient in the production of PMS.
“As of today, it produces enough diesel and it’s already exporting to other countries. Same with fertiliser and Urea. So we are getting to that era in the country where we produce what we consume and consume what we produce,” he said.
“Very soon we’ll conclude negotiations on minimum wage and Nigerians will be happy for it.
The economy we met was not in good shape at all, I call it a ‘foamy economy.’ Despite that, the President consistently tells me, ‘I cannot complain; I campaigned and danced for this job, so I must do it and I must do it well.”
